"Dean, no one replies to us. Help!"

Got 10 seconds?

There’s one reason to read this page:

B2B prospects ignore you. 

I figure out how to communicate your value in seconds. 

So prospects ask for a meeting. 

-Dean

Hi, I'm Dean.

I create the first thing companies say.

I do it with a messaging clinic called The Hook.

In this workshop you are you (obviously). 

I play the prospect you want to hook. 

And I’m also the writer who hooks them.

400 companies on six continents have bought the Hook.

Some use it for LinkedIn Outreach (including me)

Others need a webpage that converts.

Some need a sign that works in 1 second…

And others want emails so gripping, even the founder gets pulled in.

However you make your first approach

The Hook is the first step to doing it right.

“When Dean’s done, you just paste what he wrote into your website, your emails, your two pager, whatever. Total game changer.” – Jess

The Hook works because an advertising copywriter, a salesman, and strategist all live in my head (and in my CV).

From the Hook Workbook

“ I bought the Hook for my own company. Then I bought it again for a client. And now I’m a regular in the Dean Waye ecosystem 😀”  -Melanie

You can’t look at your own business and messaging objectively.

No one can.

The Hook includes everything.

Discovery. Analysis. Copywriting. 

Answer some questions about your business. Then get a homepage, brochure, cold message or other collateral that pulls people into your world.

There’s no easier or faster way to get into your prospect’s head. 

A question from the Hook workbook

How does it work?

  1. You fill in a short questionnaire. The questions are easy. Most are from a prospect’s point of view. Some will seem like they have nothing to do with sales or marketing. Answer them anyway.
  2. We walk through your answers together. (I’ll add notes, ideas and insights.)
  3. Start hooking people in seconds.

Who buys the Hook Messaging Clinic?

– CMOs and CROs

– advertising agencies

– fractional CMOs and CROs (for their clients)

– consultants, coaches, and freelancers

– branding agencies

– big companies with a product or service that’s new or stagnant

 

(Everyone here bought The Hook)

Note: Everything you see on this website, every client reference, every portfolio showpiece, everything — was made with The Hook. 

“Nancy Fox told me about Dean. Ten minutes after meeting him I hired him. I’ve been a CMO (and fractional CMO) for 25 years, and I’ve known a lot of pro copywriters. Dean’s the one I refer to everyone.” – Alan

Why people love The Hook Messaging Clinic:

Dean slices through everything you COULD say about your business, to the thing you should tell people first. It was exactly what I needed.” – Sherrie

 

“There’s no way to do The Hook and NOT end up being the obvious choice in a category that your customer cares about” – Jen

 

“Just understanding Assertive vs Aggressive in how I talk about my business, and when to sound aspirational, changed everything about how I talk to people.  I haven’t changed one word on my homepage since Dean wrote it.” – Patricia

 

The Hook is all about the reader

You know how to talk about your business. 

You know your customers’ pain points. 

You know your value. 

Let’s turn that into the first thing you say, to get people into meetings.
